This match already has been proclaimed one of the classic en- counters of professional team competition, calling into action 20 of the greatest shot-makers of the current era in a contest which has never been surpassed for specta- cular rivalries and colour.
Accepting the challenge on be- half of the Ryder Cup players, Walter Hagen, perennial leader of the United States team, declared his confidence as to the outcome.
Gene Challenged
"I'd like to challenge Gene to a 36-hole singles match," said the "Haig" in his acceptance, "and I sure hope he will accept it."
Hagen, as the records show, has good reason for his confidence. His Ryder Cup teams, dating all the way back to 1927 at Worces-- ter, have never been beaten on American soil. He has led Uncle Sam's forces in the biennial series with Great Britain in each of the! six encounters, both home and abroad, and stands. well in front with four victories against two defeats.
With him at Oakland Hills will be one of the strongest teams ever assembled for a team battle, in- cluding Henry Picard, "PGA. champion, Byron Nelson, Horton Smith, Ralph Guldahl, Dick Metz,! Jimmy Hines, Victor Ghezzi, Paul] Runyan, Sam Snead, and Harold McSpaden.
Better Team
Sarazen, a worthy member of every U.S. Ryder Cup team since the inception of the matches until the present one, challenged some time ago the wisdom of the P.G.A. selectors and the forthcoming bat- tle at Oakland Hills is the out- come of his desire to prove his point.
"Not that I was
left off the team," explains Gene, "nor that I think the P.G.A. was unfair in its selections. But I can pick a better team myself from the ranks of the boys they overlooked."
Gene's chance to prove his statement comes at Oakland Hills when he leads into action a team comprising Jimmy Demaret, Ben Hogan, Craig Wood, Ed Oliver, Lloyd Mangrum, Harry Cooper, Ed Dudley, Tommy Armour, Frank Walsh, Billy Burke, Al Watrous, Jimmy Thomson, John- ny Revolta, Clayton Heafner, and, of course, himself.
Ryder Cup Pattern
The matches will follow the pattern of the regular Ryder Cup play with foursomes the first day at 36 holes, and singles the finali day. The decision will rest with the side scoring the most' victories. Other P.G.A. Red Cross exhibi- tions which are sure to add sub- stantially to the fund have been arranged at various golfing 'cen- tres throughout the country.
Bobby Jones, returning to the. role he played so prominently as a Red Cross performer in 1910, has agreed to participate in four matches under P.G.A. auspices and will play at Lido, N.Y., July 13, in a match with Horton Smith, Jimmy Thomson, and Charles Mayo. On July 14 he will come to Boston for a match in which he will pair up with Fred Wright) against Francis 'Oulmet and Jesse Guilford at The Country Club, Brookline. Bob is also scheduled to appear in a match with Ed Dudley in the Philadelphia district in September.
